Video: Monty Williams Reflects, Tells a Great Story About Chris Paul
One of the best things about the Clippers deal is that we will for the most part remain Chris Paul fans. Sure we’ll boo the crap out of him the first time he touches the ball in a game, but at some point on March 22nd Paul will get a hearty dose of goose bumps […]

Tur-dunkin’
Renewed rebirth talks are springing up all over HornetLand. I have theories on why that is, but I’ve stuffed some soppresata in my mouth in an effort to keep this on topic. The topic, of course: A Traditional Louisiana Turducken. For those who don’t know, a turducken is a dish, not an animal. The basic […]
